Dead Drops are USB storage drives containing the Engineers' data and are well-hidden. Every main mission and 4E side mission has a Dead Drop to find but only with some exploration.

To find the Dead Drop location more easily, purchase the Command & Control upgrade for your Paladin and it will highlight the item when Sam is within proximity of the Dead Drop.

There are a total of 24 Dead Drops in Splinter Cell: Blacklist, but two more can be found in DLC 4th Echelon Missions. While aboard Paladin, you can review the Dead Drops you have collected under: Pause > Extras > Dead Drops.

The DD is located in the first building after Sam uses his first Mark-And-Execute kill. Enter the building and sneak towards the hall on the right to find the DD on top of a shelf. You can't miss this one!

The DD is found on the upper section of the room with the Drone. To reach it, Sam must jump out of the window of the opposite side of the building and then climb to the upper window and jump in. The DD will be laying on the upper floor just above the Drone operator room.
